[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Salvage probably isn't really doing anything special to keep the browser alive in the background. It's just that AOSP uses much, much, much less RAM than a Sense 2.1/3.0 ROM does. So with Synergy, even just going back to the home screen may exhaust memory and cause it to kill the browser. But with Salvage, it's got enough memory to keep it running in the background, and it's just switching back to it when you open it again.

As much as I really do like Synergy and MikG, my experience was that it didn't leave enough memory to multitask effectively. Even after first install it was pretty low on RAM, and once I loaded the apps I use on, it was killing things constantly. I couldn't even check GMail while listening to music, or the music would stop. I'm back on CM7 as a result. Not a knock against either ROM, it's just too tall an order for our phones, at least the way I use my phone.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
So I'm think the reason there isn't a ROM that can run both HBO Go and Netflix is that HBO Go only works with 2.3.3 ROMs and Netflix doesn't. Am I wrong? The solution seems to be to contact HBO and tell them to get this issue resolved. No clue how to contact them though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
Seems like no CM7 based roms plays HBOGo but play Netflix just fine.

I'm in the same boat as you, it is always either netflix or HBOgo. Would be nice to get them both working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
Accordig to Morfic, the Netflix\HBO issue has something to do with the stagefright lib. Not sure about the details yet, but the library is responsible for audio\video decoding.

Is anyone annoyed by this, it seems every time I want to scroll with two fingers it zooms ever so slightly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bcostea:

Scroll with one finger... Is normal to zoom if you move your fingers slightly one to another while scrolling
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jambo89liam:
How do u scroll with one finger, surely this moves the mouse pointer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
No problem for me. I keep my fingers together.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bcostea:
Sorry, I wrote from phone and I haven't seen that text was deleted.

Use one finger on screen, that's why ouy have a touch screen.

For scrolling using the touchpad you can keep the fingers together, any way you like, or better yet keep the fingers one on top of the other.

What can i do with my NEW X play?

What is Rooted? o.o

and other things,

why should i root my phone?

im very new to android phones, just got my X play 2 days ago :D

some PRO there! noob needs help :D
[Xperia Play General] JasonKnight:
to better answer your question we need to know the exact model of the Xperia you have?

Mine is the verizon model and it is R800x

there are also R800a, R800i, R800at, and a few others I think, so if you could please provide us with some more information we would be happy to try and help you.
[Xperia Play General] Jahy420:
Mine is R800i X play ! :D
[Xperia Play General] JasonKnight:
I think that version is Rooted, though I am not 100% cause all I ever look for are things for the R800x. Anyway Rooting the phone ends up giving you complete Super User access to the phone. The biggest advantages that you can get from rooting you phone is the ability to WiFi Tether from the phone without the Wireless Network knowing about it, the ability to delete bloatware off the phone and move apps to the SD card that were once not able to be transferred, as well as the ability to over clock your phones processor to make it faster. Also gain some other small abilities like the ability to Print Screen the phone.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Rooting gives you admins rights the same as you would get on a pc. Some apps need to have root access to work e.g. Titanium Backup, Ad free etc.

Well as JasonKnight has said you can remove unwanted system apps. Making the phone boot up faster and generally run smoother. You can also backup your apps and data with titanium backup. Install custom themes e.t.c.

The list goes on but the main reason people root is to uninstall/freeze crap that comes on the phone that you normally cannot remove without root access. Which then gains you more ram and internal memory .

See here for a guide on rooting your phone. If you plan on rooting at any point do it now, since it will wipe your phone clean.

See here for apps that are safe to remove after rooting.

Lol, Again the list is endless. For a start

Get yongzhs emulators from slideme here. They are still free atm. This will let you play thousands of old games with proper controls :)

Get AdFree Android it will remove adverts when browsing the net on your phone it also removes the ads in free games such as angry birds e.t.c. You need to be rooted to use this app.

Get another keyboard since the stock one is pants. I use Swype. Takes a bit of getting used too but once you do its awesome. If you dont like swyping it is alot better than the stock keyboard for just normal typing

Other than that just read around all the sections of this fourm and see what other people are doing.
[Xperia Play General] Jahy420:
so how can i know if its already Rooted? :D
[Xperia Play General] squall12:
yep want to know also since my is r800i..

thanks
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
If you just bought it, then it isn't rooted yet. You have to go through the steps to get root yourself. If you can follow directions, it shouldn't be a problem for you.

Apologies if this is already common knowledge?

It looks as though the B70 Transformers are coming with locked boot loaders, is that the case?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kireas:
I'm not remarkably familiar with the different segments, but I'm rooted now (on a device from last month, so B6), but I still have my standard bootloader and recovery. Does this make a difference to rooting, or just to custom ROM's?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I think it applies to both? (But I'm no expert on these things). :)

I wonder if any new Asus software updates will also change the secure boot key and prevent other B revisions from being rooted once updated?

Makes me glad mine's B3. :) Just hope I dont have to return it at any point. Thanks for posting this info though. Interesting stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
I'm guessing suddenly lightbleed that nobody notices and creaking that you have to listen out for will all of a sudden be unimportant...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matchstick:
The secure boot key controls access to the tablet in NVFlash mode.

Without it basicallly you can't use NVFlash to update the Firmware on the tablet but it's possible that there might be other rooting methods that don't rely on NVFlash.

Instead these rely on exploiting bugs in the Android OS which can then be used to write data to areas of the tablet that shouldn't and so do things like install custom recovery modes that can then be used to load custom/insecure ROMs etc

(it's how the tablet was rooted before we gained access to the SBK)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
I'm sure some bright spark will get it sorted anyways. These things don't remain unchallenged for long.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightCrusader:
Now did we get the SBK last time? Someone had to have leaked it; I find it hard to believe it was brute-forced.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Ugh.... Why oh why are they doing this?? Don't they realize that one of their "pros" over Apple devices is becuase they lock them down so much - Why would they go and do that to their products now??? I thought I was finally moving towards freedom by getting away from Apple!!! <sigh>
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DilloDroid:
the thing is wheather we like it or not ..they are their units and they will do what they want. Doesn't mean someone won't crack it like they always do. Just finding some that have been exchanged that have been rooted is enough to tick them off. Just reading here and finding out what s done with them is enough to tick them off. Look at what Motorola is doing. They made a statement that if you want to run a custom rom go somewhere else.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digiguest:
No they are OUR units and WE will do what WE want with them and if they do not like it then they can stick it where the sun does not shine.

There is no need for Asus to do this to the newcomers. It is just plain wrong.

Do they really think that locking the bootloader will ATTRACT more customers?? If anything, it can only hurt sales...

I can't imagine that a whole lot of transformers get returned rooted - most people who are willing to root them know better than that (I would think)... I just don't get the reasoning behind it. How does it benefit them?

Is there anyway to safely tell if this is the case? I recently got a B70 and was able to root mine. I just wnat to make sure that I am not affected by this, and if I am want does that mean?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
The serial will start with B70, so you will be able to tell. It's not like the B70 won't be cracked, anyways. There may be benefits to the later revision, as well.

As for Asus' thoughts on locking it down, they have a responsibility to shareholders to protect the IP(intellectual property) on the device. Buying a Transformer does not give you license to their IP. If shareholders feel they are not acting in accordance, they can basically sue Asus for shares/profit.

Personally, I wish the entire bootchain was open-source, but we knew it wasn't right from the beginning, so Asus is within it's rights.

Now, the good news. If we can buy enough stock in Asus, we can vote to open the IP base. If we reallllly buy alot, we might even win. ;)

Once again, let me state, their decision sucks, but it's probably more for the shareholders than the company itself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
IIRC, if you try to use NVFlash with the wrong key, APX mode will turn off with the 0x4 error, so if you can run NVFlash successfully, then your key hasn't changed from the B30-B60 models. You shouldn't be able to brick by testing this way, because apx will reject any change that NVFlash tries to make. Don't take my word for it though. Because, theoretically, if the BCT or ODM data has changed, but not the SBK, it could halt somewhere in the middle of the flash. Then you'd have to wait for someone to get the correct BCT and ODM data so you could reflash.

I'll be interested to see though, if your B70 has the same key, most likely all B70s will.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
Another thing you guys need to think about before going off on ASUS, is that it's always been a locked bootrom. Someone leaked the sbk, which is why they changed it, most likely.

It is probably a requirement for things like netflix, hbo2go, etc that they keep it locked.

So what do you want, open with no apps, or locked with apps?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forthelose:
interesting false dichotomy, how about open with apps?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
Not sure it has anything to do with "apps" or "no apps", but the point is that Asus has never provided "open", nor claimed to, so why start attacking them for it now? Like AustinMartin said, the SBK was leaked, it wasn't supposed to be public. The first thing you do when someone compromises the password on your laptop is change the password. Wouldn't you expect Asus to do the same? Why would they have a Secure Boot Key in the first place if they weren't going to maintain the "Secure" part of it.

Four posts above you:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightCrusader:
You can use NVFlash to pull data from the device instead of writing to it, and it requires the SBK too. Reading data as a test is a lot safer than writing something and bricking it in the process.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
If you have the wrong key, you can't run nvflash and just write over the rom/kernel. I think you can still root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightCrusader:
If you look at some of the scripts in other threads, you can see the first nvflash command has a flag to keep the connection alive so you can "resume" later on in the script file, which is what the --resume flag does in the command you tried. Unless you ran that first connection command, the ones with --resume won't work and just hang there.

Without the SBK, you can't root or write anything via NVFlash. You can still root through other means if discovered, but not NV.
